…

Carlos was in bliss as James drove him home.

"So… did you have fun tonight?" James asked nervously, making Carlos chuckle.

"Yeah, I did."

"Really?!" James asked, sounding just a little too excited. Carlos laughed again.

"Yeah, really."

"Would you… wanna do it again?"

"Yeah, I'd like that," Carlos said, a blush darkening his tan cheeks. James smiled brightly as he pulled up in front of Carlos' house.

"Huh, Logan's still here," James commented, recognizing his brother's car. "Welp, how 'bout I walk you to your door?"

Carlos bit his lip nervously and nodded.

"Sure."

…

Logan looked at Kendall, who was snuggled deep into his side, arms wrapped around him.

"I gotta get home. We have school tomorrow."

"So?"

"Kendall, love, I gotta go," Logan chuckled, pulling the younger, pouting teen off of him and standing up. "Besides, Carlos will be home soon."

"Fine," Kendall said, getting up and following Logan to the front door. "Thanks for staying with me today."

"Why wouldn't I? How's your eye feeling?" he asked, cupping Kendall's face as his own burrowed in worry as he looked at the bruises covering Kendall's face.

"It's fine. Doesn't even hurt anymore. How's your hands?" Logan's eyes strayed to the bandages that covered his knuckles. "What did you do to him?"

"Don't worry about it," Logan said, giving him a cheeky grin. "Really. I should get going," he said, kissing the side of Kendall's face that was covered in bruises. "Do you need a ride in the morning?"

"You'd give me a ride to school?"

"Yeah, I usually catch a ride with James. He and I will pick you and Carlos up okay?"

"You think he's gonna care?"

"Doubt it," Logan said, opening the front door to see James and Carlos lip-locked on the front porch.

"Really!?" Kendall and Logan both cried, making the two pull away from each other with matching grins.

"You better be happy that your mom didn't see that," Kendall said, shaking his head. On the outside, he smiled; but on the inside, he felt a little upset. Carlos was already so happy. Logan seemed so reserved. Kendall wondered if they'd ever get that way.

"Goodnight love," Logan said, kissing his cheek. "Night Carlos."

"Night Logan! Night James," Carlos said, watching them walk down the walkway. As the door shut, Carlos turned to Kendall. "I had the best night!"

…

Logan looked at the small house one more time before turning to his brother.

"What you and Kendall do all night?"

"Nothing but watch movies. You and Carlos obviously had a fun night. Better be careful James. Don't want this to end the way some of your other exploits have."

"Carlos isn't another exploit."

"Good. Cuz we're picking him and Kendall up for school tomorrow," Logan said, getting in his car.

"What's up with you?" James asked, making Logan shake his head.

"Nothing."

...

Logan was silent as James drove them to pick up Carlos and Kendall the next morning.

"Okay, what's up? You've been really… weird since last night."

"Nothing's 'up'."

"You sure?" Logan just sighed. "I know that sigh."

"I threatened to kill him," Logan said quietly. "All because of Kendall."

"You rough him up pretty badly?"

"Yeah."

"He gonna press charges?"

"Nah. He's too much of a pussy to do that."

"So what's the problem?"

"What if Kendall finds out about my temper? What if… what if I lose him?" Logan said quietly, looking at his still-bandaged hands.

"One, you technically don't have him yet, and two, please, he is so crazy about you… I doubt something like trying to kill some fucker will bother him."

"I hope you're right."

…

Kendall began to chew on his thumb in nervousness.

"Stop doing that!" Carlos exclaimed, shaking his head.

"It's a nervous habit!"

"What do you have to be nervous about?"

"You and James seem so… perfect together! James doesn't mind being all over you. But Logan is so… reserved."

"You should know by now that's just how Logan is. He likes you. I can tell."

"I don't doubt that he likes me, just that he wants to be with me."

"He does. Seriously. Don't worry about it Kenny, okay?"

"Okay…"

…

Kendall watched as James nervously held Carlos' hand as they walked into school. He was happy for his best friend, really, he was, but he couldn't help but wonder if he and Logan would ever get that far.

"Kendall? You okay?" Logan asked, giving him a concerned look.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

…

Kendall was quiet throughout the whole day, and Carlos noticed this instantly.

Then, when Kendall avoided going to lunch, he knew something was wrong, and voiced so during their lunch to James and the others.

"Loges, maybe you should go find him," James commented, his arm secured around Carlos protectively. Logan nodded and stood up, slipping his back over his shoulders.

"Alright, see you all later then," he said, quickly hurrying away and down the hallway. He ended up finding Kendall in the library. "You okay?" he asked, making Kendall shake his head. "What's wrong?"

"Just…" Kendall started, but he couldn't seem to finish his sentence; he ended up just shaking his head again.

"Kendall. Love. What's wrong?"

"Do you like me?" he asked, hating how sad and silly he sounded. Logan chortled out a laugh and wrapped an arm around the younger's waist.

"I'm crazy about you. Why on Earth would you think I wasn't?"

"Well… James and Carlos are so-"

"James and Carlos," he said, finishing Kendall's sentence. "James has no reserves being himself with people he likes. I, on the other hand, enjoy working up to a relationship. And I want to be in a relationship with you. But I want to work towards it. Okay?" Kendall nodded and hugged Logan.

"So… you do like me?"

"Very much so."

"Good."

"Good. Now come get lunch," Logan said, standing up and reaching a hand out to Kendall. "Come on love."

Kendall, now smiling more than he had all day, grabbed Logan's hand and let the older lead him into the cafeteria.

Logan hadn't let go of his hand.

…
